Read Time:8 Minute, 23 Second The first words the first brand-new believers in church history said out loud were not a prayer or a song. They were a question. Peter had just finished speaking in Jerusalem, and Luke records the crowd asking, “Men and brethren, what shall we do?” (Acts 2:37). That is the same question you are typing into a search bar when you look for a new believer Bible study plan. It turns out to be a very old question, and it has a very old answer. Here is the part most guides skip. On the day those people said yes, there was no New Testament. Not one Gospel had been written. Not one of Paul’s letters existed, because Paul was not even a believer yet. So what did the first new believer Bible study plan look like, and what on earth did they study? Show Me Day 1 Four things, and three of them are not reading Luke gives the whole plan in one verse.

A pill can erase your most painful memory without changing anything else. Do you take it?

A safe new treatment can remove the emotional pain attached to one chosen memory while leaving the factual memory intact. Losing the pain might bring enormous relief, but the experience shaped your relationships, choices, and sense of who you are.

Are painful memories injuries to heal or parts of ourselves to keep?
